Our favourite beauty and skincare products don't have to pull on our purse strings; actually the complete opposite… Here at Glossy HQ, we love to find those

inexpensive gems

that can completely

enhance your beauty routine.

  

So Glossies,

go ahead and treat yourselves

, without making an enormous dent in your purse! These are

10 of our favourite spring beauty buys under £10!

 

The Ordinary Serum Foundation with SPF 15 by The Ordinary Colours

 

Now spring is well under way, you have to make sure

you don't skip SPF in the morning.

Glossies, we have found an easy way to build SPF into your routine with

The Ordinary Serum Foundation with SPF 15 by The Ordinary Colours

.

This medium coverage foundation

glides effortlessly

over your face while also

offering protection from UV Rays with SPF15. 

 

This unique formula is

lightweight, leaves a natural finish

and has more of a serum feel to it - so it's really

easy to blend

and is a

perfect base

for cream products. I am obsessed with cream blush at the minute Glossies… Keep reading to see my current fave. 

The Ordinary has made it really

easy and simple to find your perfect match

fromthe

21 shades

the brand offers. So, how is it done? This foundation is split into three categories… 

  1. Fair to light skin tones 

  2. Medium skin tones 

  3. Dark skin tones 

These are then categorised by a second digit (1, 2 or 3), to indicate how deep the shade is. Lastly, the foundation has a letter with it, to match your undertone - either Y for yellow, P for pink, N for neutral and R for red. 

Top tip: As this foundation has a serum consistency, apply with a brush. A beauty sponge can absorb the foundation instead of blending it across your complexion. 

Revolution Pro Hydra Bright Cream Blush

 

Cream blush is the

perfect spring accessory.

I find it lasts longer on your complexion than powder blush and the

Revolution Pro Hydra Bright Cream Blush

is a

bargain for only £8.

  

A little goes a long way so this will take you straight from spring to summer too. I love how

effortlessly this glided across my cheekbones

and left me with a

gorgeous natural glow.

Revolution Pro has incorporated

hyaluronic acid

into this blush along with

shea butter and vitamin E as well,

giving you

all day hydration and a dewy finish

(don't fear it if you have oily skin, I do, but

this works for all skin types!

).  

Available in three shades,

Peach, Golden and Pink, there is a

shade for every skin tone

and every makeup look. My fave is the ‘Pink’. 

Top tip: Use the excess from your brush to add a tiny amount onto your nose to give you a

sun kissed look.

  

Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk

 

Now the weather is changing, our style is also and let's just say we'll be showing off our skin a little more. And the

Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk

is a quick and easy way to get your skin looking sun-kissed and ready to show off! 

A

lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturiser perfect for everyday use,

this tan is housed in a pump bottle for ease and convenience. Infused with aloe vera and vitamin E, not only does this gradually give you a

radiant, golden glow, it hydrates and nourishes

too

!

We love a multi-use product, especially one that leaves you with a

natural looking, streak free tan.

 

Oh, and Glossies, gone are the days of your self-tan smelling odd. This radiates a

delicious cocoa butter scent

which is almost good enough to eat! 

How To Use This Tan

 

  1. Prep your skin with your favourite exfoliator to ensure your skin is clean and smooth. 

  2. Apply the Tanning Milk evenly onto your skin in soft, circular motions. Don't forget your elbows, knees and ankles - but apply ever so lightly to these areas. Then wait for it to dry. 

  3. Use this milk as your daily moisturiser to achieve hydrated skin and a sun kissed glow.  

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Hemp Lip Conditioner

 

Not only do you need to keep your skin hydrated, but also your lips - which can sometimes be forgotten in our beauty routines. The 

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Hemp Lip Conditioner

has become my go to over the last few weeks thanks to its juicy shine and hydrating qualities. 

The

ingredients in this silky lippie pack a punch

! Hemp-derived cannabis, cantella asiatica extract with sativa seed, rosehip, almond and jojoba oils all work together to keep your lips intensely hydrated, smooth and a

perfect base for any matte lipstick.

Fancy a no makeup day? Pop this on to elevate your look. 

Top tip: I apply a couple of layers of this before bed and it acts as a lip mask. You’ll wake up with soft, supple lips!  

Maybelline Lifter Gloss Plumping Hydrating Lip Gloss

 

Every Glossy has to own a

Maybelline Lifter Gloss Plumping Hydrating Lip Gloss

  - it's such an

iconic lippie

and for

under £10,

it's a steal too!  

This plumping gloss, infused with our skincare fave hyaluronic acid, hydrates lips as well as leaves you with a fuller, shinier pout! Your lips will no longer be chapped and dry thanks to the increase of essential water in its formula. 

I love the

XL wand

; it makes it

easier to contour lips

and evenly apply the lippie. And my favourite shade for spring?

Cute, candy pink shade ‘Silk’.

 

Top tip: Match your lippie to your blush for an all round put together, healthy glow look.  

Matrix Total Results Miracle Creator Multi-Tasking 20 Benefits Treatment Spray

 

Did anyone ask for a

hair treatment spray with 20 benefits

? (Yes, you read that right Glossies… 20!) Well this multi-use, lightweight spray will soon be your best friend!  

Split ends, frizz, heat damage and breakage are all sorted with the

Matrix Total Results Miracle Creator Multi-Tasking 20 Benefits Treatment Spray for All Hair Types

.

I use this most days to

replenish moisture and smooth my strands.

It makes blow-drying my long hair much more manageable too. The coconut and sweet almond oils

add shine to your locks

and create texture without that cringe-worthy sticky feeling as well. 

Take this with you on your next holiday Glossies. You can use it as a

heat defence against hair styling

tools and environmental aggressors. It

tames frizzy 'holiday' hair, protects hair from breakage

(from over styling) and

leaves hair soft, sleek and conditioned

without becoming greasy. 

Top tip: Once applied to towel-dried hair, comb your hair to make sure the product is distributed evenly.  

OGX Refresh and Full+ Biotin and Collagen Dry Shampoo

 

I've been searching for an effective, affordable dry shampoo all year, and Glossies I have found the perfect one for us!  

The

OGX Refresh and Full+ Biotin and Collagen Dry Shampoo

eliminates grease and oil from your roots in seconds! Collagen, vitamin B7 biotic and hydrolysed wheat protein work to

give your roots instant volume and revive dull, greasy hair

by absorbing excess sebum oils. This mist also creates the

illusion of thicker, fuller hair.

It's a perfect staple to your hair routine. 

Top tip: Spray directly onto your roots, let it sit on your hair for a few minutes to allow the product to work and then massage the dry shampoo into your roots. 

Lottie London Palette Mix - The Rose Golds

 

For just under £5, your new eyeshadow go-to is here! The

Lottie London Palette Mix - The Rose Golds

is a gorgeous golden palette, perfect for this spring.  

Made up of

five matte shades and four shimmers

, you can create an array of different looks that will easily take you from day to night. The

golden glittery shimmers are so smooth and sparkle

for hours too! And, like all Lottie London eyeshadows, these are

packed full of pigment!

 

Top tip: Put down an eye primer before application to make the colours pop! 

Sleek MakeUP Lifeproof Illuminating Fixing Mist

 

In warmer weather, a setting spray is a must to keep your makeup looking fresh all day! I've been using the

Sleek MakeUP Lifeproof Illuminating Fixing Mist

this month and I've been so impressed, that I just had to share this with you!  

On application, my complexion has a new

gorgeous glow

giving me

dewy spring vibes

. It's a nice lightweight spray (it feels very refreshing!), quick-drying and

locks in makeup for the day ahead

to leave you with a smooth, seamless look. 

Top tip: You know we love a

multi-use product

and this Fixing Mist is one too. Before your makeup, spray it over your complexion to use as a primer. It’ll give you a natural-looking glow under your foundation.  

Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume On Demand Waterproof Mascara

 

It's all about the eyes this spring… So, bring attention to yours this month with the

Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume On Demand Waterproof Mascara

. Why do we love it? Well, it’s ultra-pigmented (for a dramatic look!), it 

catches every lash adding major volume

, and it

 lifts and curls naturally

 creating the look of a wider eye area. 

It even has a

wavy fibre brush

which uses its tapered head to reach those tricky areas. The formula is infused with

conditioning ingredients

to

keep your lashes soft, strong and flexible

and of course, the added bonus is, it's

waterproof!

 

Top tip: When applying the mascara, start at the base of your lashes, get a good grip on the wand and wiggle your brush as you glide it through your lashes. This allows the product to catch every lash and be distributed evenly, so no clumping!

You know how people say putting on your favourite clothes can instantly boost or change your mood? Well that's how I feel when I put on my favourite makeup. Makeup isn't to cover up, it's to show off our personality - and I love how everyone does their makeup in their own unique way! I never leave the house without a tinted lip balm in hand, and just like everyone right now, I love a good dupe!
